Creating Easy and Creamy Tomato Garlic Pasta is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, and basil. Stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
4. Creamy Twist: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let this mixture simmer for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy tomato sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.
6. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well incorporated.
7. Taste and Adjust: Sample the pasta and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
8. Serve Immediately: Plate the pasta and top it with fresh basil and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
